Finally coming to terms with putting this incredible car for sale. I purchased it back in 2011 on a whim because the car looked like a diamond in the rough. I figured that with some (serious) elbow grease I could bring it back to life.
So began the cars journey haha. It came from an auction in South Carolina and made its way up to NY. I couldn't start working on the car immediately because I just had too much going on at the time. About a year later I would finally bring the car from a friends lot in Monticello to a garage that I started renting in Long Island (Soon to become my shop? OMG Motorworks). It would take me about one year to build the car... I took as many pictures of the process as I could but closer to completion I gave up.
I finally registered and insured it May of 2014. In that time period I?ve driven 4000 miles. I purchased it with 104k on the clock, it?s now just a hair over 108k. Every mile has been thoroughly enjoyed but I just don?t drive it enough. With 2 other cars in my stable I rarely drive this one because I have to shuffle three cars around in order to bring this one out! I know? such a good looking car and I don?t drive it enough SHAME! In my defense I have a swapped E30 that I just find to be more exciting to drive. The vert is a supreme cruiser which is why I kept the motor completely stock.
What?s been replaced in the past 5 years over the course of this cars restoration?
The motor was completely seized when purchased? someone absolutely destroyed the oil pan and the auto was toast as well. I picked up a good running motor from a local friend that had recently had most of the major service work completed.
The suspension was completely gone through because I figured if I?m yanking the motor I might as well just do a complete teardown? in for a penny in for a pound!
